great choice of local dishes from HI. but next time you have a craving for those same dishes, and have the time to drive around. heres the upgraded list for those same dishes. not promoting restaurants or anything. just giving you the real inside scoops. lol. even alot of local people here dont know. guess you could call some of these places the real secret spots. i pretty much know all of the best spots for whatever local HI dish desired. comment n ill let you know. saimin - may be hard to believe but zippys zip min or won ton min is one of the top saimin in HI. as for ramen. theres alot of authentic / semi. lol. around the island. -FRIED NOODLES / SAIMIN hawaiian style. SATOS in WAIPAHU. one of the best. or LEEWARD DRIVE INN down the road. also HOUSE of DRAGON in PEARL CITY. dry gun lo mien but made HI style with egg, char siu, green onion etc. teri burger - just right up the road from sekiyas. they been around for a while. W and M BBQ burger. or the teri burger NEWTOWN GOLF DRIVING RANGE. really good also. as for the beef n chicken sticks. i would suggest goin to JIN JOO WAIMALU. rt down the road from the driving range. just get the KALBI PLATE. sorry no sticks. but you will thank me when you try it. I would say even better than those expensive korean bbq spots in town. or even LA K-town. these spots should fit right in with DINING ON A DIME anyone in town. try these spots. i have alot more. your welcome! )

Thank you for this video. I havent been to Sekiyas since the 1980s. I recently saw this video and gave them a try last night. My Won Ton Min with Vegetables and BBQ Stick was wonderful. My family also liked the Tonkatsu and Teri-Cheeseburger. My wife could also get her favorite Chocolate Coke which is hard to come by nowadays. Definitely will go back more regularly.

NO! WHY! I was just on Oahu for Winter Break. I really would've wanted to meet you Lucas. Anyway, enjoy the ono grindz and such. Make sure to grab some Leonards Malasadas, 7/11 teriyaki spam Musubi (it's 7/11 but don't judge, and plate lunch from Rainbow Drive In (gotta recommend the Loco Moco. Shootz.

Our family would eat once a week at Sekiya's (my dad went to Kaimuki h. s. My sis & I went to Sacred Hearts and we would stop after school for a snack. I am on the mainland now, but my family at home still eat there once a week. Damn, now I want local food!

This is a seriou questions. Can Asians ever eat any food without soy sauce, teriyaki or msg? It seems that it's everywhere. What happens to someone who has high blood pressure with salt restrictions? This type of food can kill you.

This guy is the worst food describer and host ever. So pretentious yet can't give us anything more than meat stick and like an in-n-out burger with teriyaki as descriptions. I hope they get a new host soon.

I used to eat there all the time when I was a kid. Kaimuki born and raised! They got hit with a E. coli violation two separate times. Never been back since. I'm willing to go again if I had the time.

why is it during all of these shows, i see glaring health department infractions in the kitchens? probably because of cooking professionally for 25 years. are these restaurants even inspected?

Super big props to Lucas for being able to keep a poker face while talking to someone with missing teeth. That's very hard for a lot of people to do without showing their discomfort.
